Unlike his predecessors at Folsom, both of whom led their teams in rushing, Browning has run just seven times for nine yards.

But that doesn't mean Folsom is completely one-dimensional. Running back Harry Lipnosky has rushed for 599 yards and five touchdowns, and Bailey Laolagi has added 520 yards and nine TDs.

"You have to be ready for four wide receivers, at least, but you can't ignore the run," Papadopoulos said.

Of course, the local Bulldogs are focusing on pass defense this week, since Folsom throws almost twice as often as it runs.

But even the pass defense can be tricky. Vacaville must decide if the best way to attack Folsom is to drop extra players into coverage, or to bring extra pressure at the line.

"And the other part is, you can't sit in the same thing the whole time," Papadopoulos added. "You have to continue to mix it up. If you're loaded up blitzing the quarterback, you're going to leave something uncovered in the secondary. If you stay back, he's going to have more time to throw."
